Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Don't forget to unlock uids_mutex on error paths
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 13:49:33 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47440D3D.3040609@openvz.org> (raw)

The commit

commit 5cb350baf580017da38199625b7365b1763d7180
Author: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Mon Oct 15 17:00:14 2007 +0200

    sched: group scheduling, sysfs tunables

introduced the uids_mutex and the helpers to lock/unlock it.
Unfortunately, the error paths of alloc_uid() were not patched
to unlock it.
